Very nice work, wish mine was this far along but hit a bit of brick wall with it for a while. Have got my wheels off for rebuild at the mo and hopefully will get everything out for paint in a few weeks, so am hoping it will come together pretty quick when everythings back. Where did you get your fork dust seals from as i cant find any or figure out what other model might fit.
hope you enjoy riding it after all the hard work.
cheers, Jon

Thanks Jon. When you say "fork dust seals", I think you mean the outer rubber boots? If so, great question! I looked all over the place with no luck (did find one set but the price was outrageous), until after making some detailed measurements, I realized that the dust boots for a Yamaha XS650 looked like they would fit, and appearance wise looked very close to the Suzuki OEM ones. I got them from a place called "Mike's XS", on the web. I must say, the fit was perfect.

Below is the info for what I bought:
Item # 27-1066 Fork Dust Covers 71-76 XS650, $22.00
You may want to try these. Good luck, you will get there soon!
